Announcing
Upekkha Reiki
We observe that the spiritual need at the end of life is of a special
vibrational quality and reflect on the special needs of person's
near death. In assisting a dying patient we wish to accomplish what
Reiki Masters have referred to as "transition," we perceive the capacity
to channel energy of a special and pure vibrational quality which
we refer to as Upekkha Reiki (c).
Barbara Ray began her book, "The Reiki Factor" (1983) "Every day
of your life represents an opportunity for a new beginning. Every
breath you take is a rebirth,drawing in a new round of air connecting
you to the universal vibrations of that particular moment. Exhaling
is a letting go or releasing of what has now become the past, and
the new breath again keeps you in the "here now" - the "eternal present".
Yet at the moment of death, or transition, ther is no next
heartbeat, no next breath, only what his Holiness the Dalai
Lama refers to as the "mind or consciousness" which "comes
into being as a result of it's previous instants."
In the Western World, Traditional Medicine is split from
Spiritual Healing,both are gifts from the same source, and
should be used in a complimentary way,
Sogyal Rinpoche writes, (The Tibetan Book of the Living
and Dying") "For all it's technological achievements, modern
Western society has no real understanding of death or what
happens in death or after death...people today are taught
to deny death, and taught that it means nothing but annihilation
and loss. That means that most of the world either lives
in denial of death or in terror of it.
It is in response to this reality, that we in Traditional
Medicine who wish to Care when we can not Cure, must be aware
of the power of the attunement to Upekkha Reiki (c) and,
the assistance we can bring by channeling this specific vibrational
energy.Upekkha translates roughly as, Equanimity or "evenness
of mind under stress." However
it can encompass much more. Ven. Nyanaponika Thera http://www.buddhanet.net/ss06.htm)
describes equanimity as "perfect unshakable balance of mind
rooted in insight." He notes that, "to the degree that we
forsake "mine" or "self" Equanimity
will enter our hearts. Such is the capacity of Upekkha Reiki
(c) to assist the patient near death ("transition"), by channeling
Spiritual energy that brings an unshakable calm, and in the
stressful time before the severing of the bond between the
consciousness and the body, prepares the soul to evolve forward,
rather than to be held back by fear. |
Abide with us in healing & wellness...
We view this symbol visualized
in our meditations as powerful in symbolizing the Master
level of the channeling of Upekkha Reiki (c), The tree
is seen by us as the Bodi Tree, and the falling leaves
remind us of all that holds us back, fear of pain, fear
of the death to self and to ego, and trepidation at moving
forward and evolving. As leaves fall we stand more bare
and more exposed to the universal spirit. We see the
spiritual energy of the Buddah, but not the embodiment
of the buddah, beckoning us from within the dying tree
offering to be our ascendant guide. The light that shines
through is the universal light, that which connects us
all, and which we are gifted to channel through Reiki.
It is when we find the quiet humble place that the Universal
Spirit can shine within us and we can transition.
The channeled gift of Upekkha Reiki (c)
can assist in smoothing the vibration of the dying person,
and allow the soul to evolve and tobe transformed into
more than we can envision in our current state. While
the transitional Reiki positions are useful in Hospice
for the relief of pain, and the normal channeling of
spiritual energy, over the years when I have experienced
the flow of Upekkah Reiki (c) it has been through the
Crown Chakra. It is not always feasible to place a hand
on the crown Chakra, but a single hand touching the head
of the client between the patient's Third eye Chakra
and Crown Chakra is the best placement for the channeling
of Upekkah Reiki energy.
